This month’s Recipe Redux theme is one of my favorites: Taco Tuesday.

I could eat tacos and other Mexican-themed meals every night of the week. The savory flavors of taco night are addictive. This is the one food genre that everyone in my family can agree on. There are no complaints in my house at dinnertime on taco night.

This Mexican frittata recipe is so easy to make, and the flavor is amazing. It was inspired by these taco muffins from Food Faith Fitness that I made a few weeks ago. My family enjoyed them, but we were still hungry at the end of the meal. I wanted to make them a little heartier with the addition of some veggies. And as cute as the muffins were, I thought the process would be a bit simpler in a frittata.

I use a cast iron skillet to make this frittata. Be sure to grease the skillet very well if it isn’t completely seasoned. Eggs tend to stick more than other ingredients, so it will be difficult to remove the frittata from the skillet if it isn’t well-greased. You can skip the cheese if you’re avoiding dairy. This frittata is still very flavorful even without the cheese.

I put together this short video to show just how easy it is to make this delicious frittata:

  12. Wow! This is such a cool idea! I’ve never made a Mexican-inspired frittata before and I can imagine the flavors are so yummy.

  15. This frittata looks delicious. What amounts of ingredients would you recommend if I made this recipe in a 9x 13 inch pan? Thanks.

    Reply

    • Thanks! I think a 9 x 13 inch pan could be anywhere from 9 to 12 servings depending on how hearty you want each serving to be. In the recipe box, click on the number of servings (currently 6), and you can slide it to 9 (or up to 12). This will adjust the ingredient list for you.
